The season of picnics, beach outings
and family reunions has arrived.
And for Blue Moon Brewing Company,
summer means the welcome return
of its award-winning seasonal, Blue
Moon Summer Honey Wheat Ale.
Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat
Ale is crafted with Rocky Mountain clover
honey for a hint of sweetness that’s
balanced by a touch of orange peel for
subtle citrus notes. For the first time,
the summer brew is available in cans,
making it perfect for countless outdoor
summer activities. This refreshing beer
has earned three gold medals at Great
American Beer Fest and one gold medal
at the World Beer Cup.
“With its notes of honey and citrus,
Summer Honey Wheat Ale is the perfect
way to celebrate, whether you’re
heading to the beach or grilling out in
your backyard,” said Keith Villa, Blue
Moon creator and brewmaster.
